[Verse 1]

Seeing the time stream on through your hair

I seem to be floating way off to somewhere

Where I can't find my way or my time or my changes

I'd love to befriend you and all of your ages but

Where is my place, my place I should stand

Tell me, oh tell me the place I should stand

‘Cause life's a bundle of directionless stage

And I don't know where to place my legs

[Verse 2]

By looking at eyes and watching the mouth

I think I've gotten this human thing down

So tell me, oh tell me, please tell me my lines

My beautiful, wonderful, floating mind

For your body is gone and your eyes remain

And your glistening laugh is in place of a brain

Who needs a torso or ribcage or legs

When we can talk for the rest of our days

[Verse 3]

It may look like I'm at the end of my rope

I may have gone too far and I hope

I'll appreciate the people around

No promises, no oaths in this town

Spontaneous eruptions of a burst of bluebirds

Coming on up through the ground

Helping hands from the friendly blades of grass

I will ask

[Chorus]

Everything moving so quickly around

I'm sure to be mindful of you when you're gone

And I hope you'll be mindful of me when I'm here

‘Cause I'm sure to be gone

Everything moving so quickly around

I'm sure to be mindful of you when you're gone

And I hope you'll be mindful of me when I'm here

‘Cause I'm sure to be gone

Everything moving so quickly around

I'm sure to be mindful of you when you're gone

And I hope you'll be mindful of me when I'm here

‘Cause I'm sure to be gone

[Verse 4]

Yes, I can see happiness on the horizon

At evening-time where the sun goes to die on

And nonsense is truer than anything I've heard

On this earth, appearing much less than it's worth

Carry me off with your beautiful mind

Your eyelids and lashes and pupils entwine

With your lovely flaws and perfect mistakes to wake me

[Verse 5]

Let me go, you beautiful mind

Your eyelids and lashes and pupils entwine

With your lovely flaws and perfect mistakes to wake me

Let me go, you beautiful mind

Your eyelids and lashes and pupils entwine

With your lovely flaws and perfect mistakes to wake me

[Outro]

Let me go, you beautiful mind

Your eyelids and lashes and pupils entwine

With your lovely flaws and perfect mistakes to wake me
